The weather was again not what the forecast promised, but this is not the point.
What a race!
Stefan started relatively well although the teststart in warmup failed him completely. In the first round Stefan get 16th place. He overtake a lot of riders within less rounds up on 11th forward, when he was shoot out by the completely unexperienced and over motivated Jack Miller in the starting curve!
Miller crash Karel Abraham out in the gravel in Qater, this is no way to work with his open-Honda.
Stefan had raised against Valentino Rossi the medium front tyre, Rossi get problems with the hard one in the end of race. He was caught by Dovizioso.
Stefan would take a result a safe Top10 without Miller takedown, would have been 100% victory in the open class, as his nearest competitor to this title of Hector Barbera, finished only as 12.!
Perhaps it would have sufficed even for Aleix Espargaró at the 8th, but would have. would be, if once more shall not apply.
As always, is not to overlook the positive trend compared to Qater, Stefan knows it. Next week there is the next chance and Stefan know that should fit the course in Argentina of the Yamaha.
We hope that the positive trend is consolidating and including team for all the hard work finally the points earned can take Stefan back home!
